Silsbee ISD will have early release Tuesday

[AggiesAreWe]

Students will be getting out of school at 1pm Tuesday. This will allow students, staff, and admins time to travel to Huntsville for 6pm game against Yates.

I did hear there may be some buses for Tiger fans to travel on but have not received confirmation on this yet.

Will you message me and let me know if you find out about the fan buses Aggie ?

Sure

Is this within UIL rules? I am pretty sure you can't have an early release for an athletic event.
Ozen's Jeff Nelson was suspended for having a practice during normal school hours. How is this any different? Kids are getting out of class for sports.

Silsbee students were also let out early for the football playoffs . I think the school knows what they're doing .

The early release is.because the school will need to run the bus routes and get students home so that drivers and buses will be available for the various groups heading to Huntsville and other places for other events, such as baseball, etc...

Schools can have early release for whatever reason as long as the school completes their required school days for school calendar year.

bobby, you are reaching. ::)

For reference:

Schools may have early release up to 6 times a year for a set list of reasons. Playoff is one of the listed reasons. So if they don't have 6 already on the calendar then they are fine. If they have 6 on the calendar (I have no idea what the school calendar looks like) they will have to change one of the scheduled ones to a full day.

You're "pretty sure you can't have an early
release for an athletic event."  Tell us, bobbymc, upon what do you base that belief?  Did you contact the UIL and determine that it's against the rules?  Did you contact any of your contacts in YOUR LOCAL school system and get their opinion?  What, bobbymc, what?  It happens regularly in all school districts - so apparently ignoring the UIL is more widespread in Texas than any of us ever imagined.  S T R E T C H  and S T I R, bobbymc. ::) 8)

Usedtobe- Dont listen to that stuff.  You go ahead and leave when the other students leave and make sure you get there on time.
